Homestay in Vancouver, Canada
We are a multicultural, loving and fun family of three and have lived in Vancouver since 1992. We live in an amazing 7 bedroom house (house is only 5 years old) and too big for us and we would love to share our space and lifestyle with graduate international students who prefer the comfort and safety of a family environment. We live on the top two floors of the house and have 1 guest room (all rooms have locks on door) available for rent on the basement level with it’s own private bathroom, and it’s own separate entrance. The fully equipped kitchen, refrigerator and laundry (on the basement level) will be shared with 2 other graduate students who have their own separate bathroom. We have our own kitchen and laundry upstairs. The available guest room is furnished elegantly with bed along with a desk, chester drawer and a built-in closet. The basement floor is accessed by us sometimes as we have few items stored there and also the utility room is in basement which we need to access. We also have a cleaner who typically cleans bathrooms and common areas of basement.
Fraser is situated in Vancouver's east-side and is surrounded by beautiful trees, parks, restaurants and lots and lots of grocery stores. Vancouver’s trendy Main neighbourhood with amazing restaurants and coffee shops is less than 3 km away. Our house is within 5 minutes of walking distance to library and buses. There are 3 buses within 2-4 blocks of the house. It takes 35-45 minutes to get to UBC with direct bus (#49 and R4). It is a 5 min bus ride to Canada Line skytrain station and Langara College. There is a direct bus to downtown or you can take Canada Line as well. The house is 15 minutes (~9.0 km) car ride from the airport.
We are an ideal homestay for international students as we will allow you the space and environment to thrive and also have fun. We love outdoors, gardening, music, cooking, yoga and practise a positive, fun and loving attitude in general. We also love travelling, meeting with new people and learning about new cultures. We look forward to welcoming you in our home and being part of this beautiful, multicultural city.
We respect each other, will respect you and will expect the same from you. Our home is a unique blend of traditional and modern values where there is no place for any illegal activities (illegal downloading, gambling, recreational drugs, binge drinking etc.). Overnight stays are only allowed with permission. Quiet hours are between 11 PM and 7 AM and must be followed. Smokers are not welcome and we will ask you to leave if we find out that you smoke even outside of property. We believe in sustainability and would expect the same from you. You are expected to cook your own food, wash your own dishes, buy your own toilet paper and personal use items, have your own towels etc though we will provide bed-linen and utilities including wifi are included in rent. You must keep common areas clean otherwise you may be charged for cleaning.
Thanks for reading and we look forward to hearing from you!
